Unveiled this month, the Kamermaker 3D printer must be one of the largest RepRap-technology based devices yet.

How big is it? Let's just say that the exterior case was originally a standard 20 ft metal container! How big is its build envelope? Well, normally we quote build envelopes in millimeters, but this goes well beyond that: it can build objects up to 2 x 2 x 3.5 meters (6.5 x 6.5 x 11.5 ft)!

The Amsterdam-based project, led by DUS Architects with assistance from Ultimaker and many others, is intended to be a mobile 3D printing "pavilion". The Kamermaker could appear in your neighborhood and print out useful stuff.

Some say this massive 3D printer could print entire rooms of a house. Maybe if it was a very small room, but it could definitely print furniture.

Kerry Stevenson, aka "General Fabb" has been writing Fabbaloo posts since he launched the venture in 2007, with an intention to promote and grow the incredible technology of 3D printing across the world. So far, it seems to be working!

Fabbaloo is a daily online publication focusing on the 3D print and additive manufacturing industries. We provide deeper analysis of developments in current and future technologies as well as corporate matters. If there’s something happening in 3D technologies, especially FDM, SLA, SLS and Stereolithography, we’ll have an opinion about it.
